INTRODUCTION
The Catalonia Institute for Energy Research, IREC (Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya), was funded in July 2008, and began its R+D activities in January 2009.
After finishing the organization of the laboratories and infrastructures in 2011-2012, in 2013 the Catalan Institute for Energy Research has achieved consolidation in both European projects and industrial. After five years, it has built a stable team of valuable individuals who are committed to the scientific and technological growth of the centre, resulting in cutting edge research and a constantly increasing flow of income.
IREC is a member of the CERCA Institution, the catalan institution created by the Catalan Government to supervise, support and facilitate research to the Catalan research centers.
IREC is one of the 47 research centers of Catalonia, specifically focused on energy research of Catalonia.

IREC - PRINCIPLES
MissionTo contribute to the sustainable development and enhance corporate competitiveness via:
• Medium and long-term research,• Scientific development and technological know-how in the
field of energy, and• Innovation and development of new products
VisionTo become a center of excellence and an international benchmark organization through Research, Technology Development and Innovation (R+TD+i), working in coordination with the Industry, the Universities and the Administration.
6
IREC - ORIENTATION
The Institute works with a dual approach:
• Long-term research, aimed at generating knowledge within groups and research areas of the Institute, with a mid or long-term commercial projection in mind.
• Technology development, focused on collaboration with the Industry to create new products and new technical solutions, at short and mid-term.
The Institute’s position is defined by the balance between these two approaches.

“KIC InnoEnergy”, the European Network for Innovation in Energy
The European Institute of Technology & Innovation EIT selected the consortium KIC InnoEnergy made up by 29 companies, universities and research centers across Europe, to boost and promote research, education and innovation in the energy sector.
The main objective is to try to get basic research reach the market more quickly and efficiently so that European companies are able to globally compete in better conditions with the United States and Japan.
KIC InnoEnergy SE is a public limited European company.
The IREC leads and defines the strategy on Renewables, and participates in the projects boosted in the period 2010-2016.
IREC is stakeholder of KIC InnoEnergy S.E.
